Green Split Peas
Our Green Split Peas are sweet and creamy, ideal for salads, curries, hummus, and of course classic split pea soup. Split peas are economical and cooking them is easy: just simmer them in water for 30-40 minutes—no pre-soaking required.
We take high quality fresh peas and dry, peel and split them to create a superior dried legume. Today’s split pea is believed to be a distant relative of the field pea that was native to the Middle East and Central Asia. Since prehistoric times, dried peas have been consumed and were prized by the ancient civilizations of Egypt, Greece, China and Rome.
Delicious, hearty dried peas are so easy to prepare, requiring no presoaking and cooking up in about 30 minutes. Green split peas are also an excellent source of dietary fiber, and a 1/4-cup portion provides 13 grams of protein. In fact, they’re such a good source of plant-based protein that many of our protein powders are made from peas, so add them to your mental protein foods group! Dried split peas are also a good source of iron.
